OLE DB or ODBC error: BigQuery Numbers

Hi there,

 

i've got a problem to create a visual for a direct query table (source is Google BigQuery).

In the Edit Query the table data looks good: "total" is recognized as decimal numeric. As soon as i add this value to a visualisation the error below appears.

I also tried to create a measure for the column but this doesn't work also.

 

In BigQuery the field is also designed as a number (see third shot). I've no idea what the reason might be and how to troubleshoot it?

 

Part of the error details:

Product Version:
2.68.5432.841 (19.04) (x64)

Error Message:
OLE DB or ODBC error: [Expression.Error] We couldn't fold the expression to the data source. Please try a simpler expression..

OS Version:
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.17134.0 (x64 de-DE)

CLR Version:
4.7 or later [Release Number = 461808]

Formulas:


section Section1;

shared TodayVsBest = let
    Source = GoogleBigQuery.Database(null),
    #"shining-sign-99921" = Source{[Name="shining-sign-99921"]}[Data],
    powerbi_daily_turnover_Schema = #"shining-sign-99921"{[Name="powerbi_daily_turnover",Kind="Schema"]}[Data],
    powerbi_today_vs_bestday_Table = powerbi_daily_turnover_Schema{[Name="powerbi_today_vs_bestday",Kind="Table"]}[Data],
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(powerbi_today_vs_bestday_Table,{"_sdc_table_version", "_sdc_received_at", "_sdc_sequence", "__sdc_primary_key", "_sdc_batched_at", "_sdc_extracted_at"})
in
    #"Removed Columns";

Hi @Anonymous ,

Did this issue appears when your create calculate fields with numeric type? If you test with other data table without this type, did it works?

No, it's not a new calculated field. I just use the existing column comming from google bigquery. It is only with this decimal field. Another integer field just works fine.

Hi There,

 

i did open a ticket and got the info, that this is a bug which they are working on. And after installing the new update from last week the visuals are now working in the desktop, but not within the service?

Best regards

 

Henrik
